Gotta love Texas! Even in Colorado we would still be waiting. Of course in a couple weeks it will be too hot to go outside at all!

how do you keep blueberries alive in summer? just ordered one but not sure it will survive. btw, it is your fault I finally dared to order a blueberry, lol.

WNC here - blueberries should be planted in loose, fluffy, quite acidic soil, like what you would use for azaleas.

Oh wow, you’re in Greece, hmmm. Any idea if your native soils run alkaline (pH above 7 or acid (pH below 7)? Blueberries like humus-y soils; think lots of shredded hardwood mulch mixed with soil with lots of compost. Are where any kind of gardening/agricultural support agencies available?

I wish I could claim that I have some secret method but I really just plant stuff and it grows. Maybe because I don't obsess and over water or over fertilize. Just let nature do the work and water if they look wilty.
